(Open to ALL Active Board Licensees)
The Maryland Professional Volunteer Corps consists of health care and community professionals ready to assist with disaster and emergency recovery during a declared emergency situation. The MPVC is the state Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) administered by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The MPVC program coordinates the skills of practicing and retired physicians, nurses, other medical and mental health professionals, and non licensed citizens who are willing to respond to emergency situations and help address their community's public health needs (e.g., administer immunizations, conduct health screenings, promote health and nutrition education, volunteering in community health centers and local hospitals). Over the past several years MPVC volunteers have been involved in the recovery from Katrina, the Lebanese repatriation, shelters set-up during the 2008 Presidential Inauguration, and H1N1 clinics.
